Experts weigh in on Sino-US trade tensions

As the Sino-US trade dispute intensifies, Chinese experts shared their insights on the topic at a seminar on Sino-US economic and trade relations at Tsinghua University in Beijing on Thursday.
They discussed questions such as how China should best deal with the issue, and what impact the dispute will have on the world economy. Here are some excerpts of what they said.

Key to the China-US trade dispute is strategic competition in tech and innovation, Xue said.
He said China's industrial policies have succeeded in improving the innovation environment in the country while creating a win-win system for the whole world.
To some extent, the progress China has made in innovation proves the country has advanced in the protection of intellectual property rights, Xue said, adding that cooperation between China and the US will benefit all, and the world would suffer otherwise.
